SYSTATs

SYSTAT 13 continues the legacy of Dr. Leland Wilkinson, who created SYSTAT over twenty years ago and who pioneered programmable graphs for statistical visualization. SYSTAT 13 continues this tradition of state-of-the-art intelligent statistical graphing with significant graph enhancements, including greater interactivity, editability and customizability. And continuing its reputation of well-thought-out analytics, SYSTAT 13 contains major new statistical features which include

Furthermore SYSTAT 13 brings enhancements concerning its graphical capabilities and the ability to handle even larger datasets than before. It can compute statistical methods up to 10 times faster than older versions on most problems.
These put SYSTAT at the leading edge of professional statistical analyses. It is not only a package for the statistically-savvy scientist, but is also accessible to a novice data analyst. Its output is stunning and is in a form ready to submit for publication.

SYSTAT 13 has every statistical procedure you need

SYSTAT 13 is a powerful statistical software that has every statistical procedure you need to carry out efficient statistical analysis of your data. It provides you with features from the most elementary descriptive statistics to very advanced statistical methodology based on sophisticated algorithms. If you are a novice statistical user, you can work with its friendly and simple menu-dialog. If you are a statistically-savvy user, you might prefer to use its intuitive command language, and analyze your data swiftly and with ease. In either case, you can exploit its staggering range of powerful techniques to analyze many types of data to answer many types of questions. You can carry out very comprehensive analysis of univariate and multivariate data based on linear, general linear, and mixed linear models. You can carry out different types of robust regression analysis when your data are not suitable for conventional multiple regression analysis. You can also compute partial least-squares regression. You can design experiments, carry out power analysis, do probability calculations on a whole lot of distributions and fit them to data. You can perform matrix computations. Anything else you may need---Time Series, Survival Analysis, Response Surface Optimization, Spatial Statistics, Test Item Analysis, Cluster Analysis, Classification and Regression Trees, Correspondence Analysis, Multidimensional Scaling, Conjoint Analysis, Quality Analysis, Path Analysis, etc., etc.---SYSTAT has them all.

You can use the powerful Mersenne-Twister random number generator for your bootstrap and simulation tasks. You can exploit SYSTAT's random number generator from as many as 43 univariate and multivariate, discrete and continuous distributions for your Monte Carlo exercises. When the distributions are more complicated, use Rejection Sampling and Adaptive Rejection Sampling to draw random samples. For your complex Bayesian computations, suitably adapt SYSTAT's generic Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) procedures like various types of Metropolis-Hastings and Gibbs Sampling features to draw random samples and to carry out Monte Carlo integration thereof.

SYSTAT 13 can produce for you attractive graphs quickly and conveniently

SYSTAT 13 offers a large variety of scientific and technical graphing types and a great deal of interactivity to help you produce just the right type of graph and customize it to accompany your analysis. Use the Interactive Graphics Dialog to change multiple aspects of your graphics using a single integrated dialog. Compare subgroups, overlay charts, transform coordinates, add geographic projections, change colors, symbols, and more, to create insightful presentations. Change graph locations, point-and-click to alter axis labels, scales, colors and symbols. Create unique graphs that bring out the important features in your data with advanced chart options including normal and kernel densities, multiplots, maps, Voronoi tessellations, function plots, contours, scatterplot matrices with 20 diagonal density choices and 126 nonparametric smoothing options, just to name a few. Speed up your analysis by rotating your 3-D graphs to visually determine the perfect power or log transformation to normalize your data using the Dynamic Explorer. Present visually useful and attractive summary of large data using hexagonal binning.

New Statistics Features in SYSTAT 13

Forecast Time Series Error Variance with ARCH and GARCH
Conventional time series and econometric models assume that the conditional variance of a series is consistent over time, which may not always be true. ARCH and GARCH models use the past disturbances and variances in your time series data to accurately describe and account for future volatility.

Find the Best Predictors with Best Subsets Regression
BSR seeks to identify a small number of the best predictors in a trial set. It is especially helpful in situations where it might not be clear which predictors will end up being the most useful, especially in the areas of economics, ecology and the environment.

Examine the Fitness of Statistical Models Using Confirmatory Factor Analysis
SYSTAT’s Confirmatory Factor Analysis makes it easier to develop surveys, and test the fitness of behavioral, economic, marketing and social research models.
